only if you do have constantly pains in your abdomenal area; there's a new blood test, taken out of your finger, and whithin 5 minutes it shows up if you are contamined or not...the easiest and quickest of all

I had Hpylori before, it was horrible, I had felt upset stomach, bloating and pain in my stomach same time, I had antibiyotic treatment for two weeks and then still had to take zantac 300mg a day for a while even after antibiotics...
